What did Josh Bates do? I thought he'd spent most of the season injured. I enjoyed my 4 visits to Perry Barr, first time I have been for what must be getting close to ten years. Was very disappointed with Glasgow on my only visit to Owlerton.

Ekstraliga fixtures are usually around 10th December. How likely is a Russian Togliatti GP in 2020?

Before Warsaw? No qualifying rounds in Scandinavia then.

I thought someone had said SoN finals at NSS Manchester at the end of May? Can someone confirm the likelihood of this?

Smektala for Drabik doesn't make much difference, Przedpelski for Janowski might mean the Rest of the World can keep it to 14 rather than 20.

I hope the Panthers have a more competitive team next year for the sake of their fans and the league. Replacing Cook with Summers was never going to work out well.

Masters I think, it was recorded so I whizzed through most of it. Most races were over after the second bend, so whizzed through almost all of those too. Heats 7, 9 & 11 were the only ones watching.

By at least 20 points I'd say.

From my few forays to PB. ROTY - James Shanes was without doubt the best to watch. Best visitor was Eric Riss, hands down. Ellis Perks was great for Leicester, wasn't so great when guesting for the Brummies.

Well Shanes & Morris if fit would be the first two names on the 2020 team sheet I'm guessing, if they're fit. Ellis & Aarnio to follow hopefully. After that I'd like to see Brummies go for Erik Riss, he was by far the most impressive visitor to Perry Barr that I witnessed,

I would only keep Howarth & Becker from this years team if I were Wolves, but are there any riders out there who are better and willing to commit to British fixtures?

Wolves rubbish, only riders worth retaining are Howarth & Becker. Heats 7, 9 & 11 were good, rest of it was gate & go. Racing over after half a lap, but better than the old Blunsdon. Swindon to win the final by 40+ on aggregate.

Shanes seems determined to be back according to Brummies website post of last night, if anyone attended the award night was Ashley Morris in attendance and how are his injuries?

She was a little distracting.

Drabik & Smektala are too old to be at reserve, so who gives way. Jamrog at Wroclaw & Hampel at Leszno would be my guesses. Yeah, but the photo's I saw included Jonsson, who certainly won't be there. The Gorzow team listed is stronger than the team they fielded this year.

Because Wolves riders can't set their bikes up for wet conditions? Thorsell displayed his 2019 playoff form. Longitudinal & latitudinal lines were expectedly irrelevant to any sensible speedway observer. Steve... Did I or did I not having watched the Eliteserin playoffs predict that Thorsell would perform equally as disappointingly for Wolves as he did for Dackarna? Which even you have to agree he did..

Wouldn't know about Piles, thank goodness.

Well done to Swindon for adapting better to the awful conditions, particularly Musielak. Poles often go missing on damp, cold UK nights in Autumn when their domestic season is over but he was superb. Hats off to Luke Becker, made the meeting worth watching. Great attitude. Shame the conditions made it a farce, but it had to go ahead at some point.

He certainly brought his Swedish playoff form to the GB playoffs, as I thought he would.

Happy to report no rain in Wolverhampton today.

It was dry in Warsaw for the GP last year, we spent 3 days in Kraków a few days later and it rained none stop. Be careful of tourists on scooters (& tourist scooters abandoned seemingly everywhere).

If it is the same website as last year, paying for the tickets is a challenge. My only tip was use MS IE as a browser, I found the payment link easier using that. I couldn't find it at all using Chrome.

Which is understandable, that is where the big money is. I imagine if Hancock rides in the Nice 1 lż a team will sign Becker & Hancock. Otherwise I can't imagine he'll get a Polish team place outside third tier.

What average would Luke Becker come in on?

That's what we did this year. If I have the option I do that with any ticketed events.
